You contact the DVLA

Hi,We see in the LRO mag that your local D V L A office will close in 2013 and all inspections for mods, restorers and problems will have to go to Swansea ,this is to save £26 million a year to the gov.:bang:

Inspections were never normally done at local offices anyway. They'll probably just keep using local garages like they currently do, although I'm not best pleased about them shutting either. October 2013 it is. More people jobless

Follow the advise in the attached link and go to your local DVLA office with your V5 and a photo of the weight plate.

You are applying to change the Tax Class and they may require an inspection of the vehicle either by themselves or VOSA. If the vehicle has been down plated by a previous owner then there should be a plate with the new weights which would superced the original one. If you now want to revert back to the original weight then you need a certificate from a company such as SVtech.
